The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League is the top tier football league in Kenya, and is undoubtedly the dream tournament to many local players.
The league is composed of 18 teams that battle out for the bragging rights of being declared the national champions. Despite the myriad of challenges that teams face, the league remains competitive especially with clubs bagging multimillion sponsorship deals in recent years.
According to FKF President Hussein Mohamed, this new season will see the winner walk away with Ksh 15 million prize money, while the second placed team will be awarded Ksh 3 million. The third team will be rewarded Ksh 2 million. The expected pay bonanza will come to fruition due to a lucrative sponsorship deal between FKF and Azam.
“When we were elected into office eight months ago. I promised the clubs that we will significantly increase the league’s prize money,” he told Mozzart Sports.
Previously, only the winner was tipped with Ksh 5 million.
